last week was kind of a wash as far as my running and such goes. i ran a few days later in the week, but mostly i was just a mess! so, i'm just going to leave it be and not rehash the details. i am on day 4 of some new medicine for my stomach and it seems to be helping. the ultrasound and blood work all came back normal. good and bad i guess. good because i don't want some kind of major problem, but bad because it still bothers me. we'll see how the progress of this new medicine goes. i might look into seeing if my insurance will cover a nutritionist to see if changing my diet might also help.
as for biking to work, it has been on hold due to the constant flow of rain and thunderstorms. not feeling super confident on the bike right now, i don't want to then put myself in a situation of riding in a thunderstorm!! ben has been taking me in the morning and then i either catch the metrolink or brian gives me a ride home. i hope the sun comes out again soon...
i went to the s. city store's group run. a lot of people again tonight. i ran with sara and kris, but before-hand, i had run just over 20 minutes (ran from home to the store) so in total, i ran 67 minutes. then afterwards, sara and i walked down to southtown yoga and tried out the beginner class. it was very good and the instructor was very patient with us. i am not very flexible at all! i hope it is something i can add to my routine. it was also a really nice stress reliever. i felt much better about things when it was all over.
run: 8.5 miles + 1.5 hr yoga class
time: 67 minutes
shoes: brooks defyance (41)
biking: none
week-to-date: 8.5
oh jen, i really hope you keep up with the yoga. it has been so good for me in terms of "undoing" all the weird stuff running does to your body. also, my legs aren't as tight anymore. and my balance is better.
